Mirage [is]...a comic about life and how life and the people closest to you just absolutely suck sometimes. It's "adult" in a very real sense, in that it deals with heavy themes that resonate more with adults, not that it's full of blood and titties or whatever.

Anybody pick up anything new or read anything particularly good this week?

I caught up on the two thus-far released issues of the new story arc in Snotgirl; the series is way different from my usual fare but the writing and art have been consistently good and the latest issue made me laugh several times. The mystery keeps getting more mysterious.

I also checked out the first issue of Void Trip, released today. Pretty interesting. I've met a lot of people like Ana and Gabe in my time (at times I've been like them myself) so I feel a certain kinship with this series already. I'm curious to see if the series can keep up that feeling

I got the newest issue of Rat Queens, it was pretty good and I enjoyed the 30's/40s cartoon homage during the second half

Nice. I have been rereading my old back issues of Rat Queens so I can continue on with the newly-numbered series. I have read a couple of the new issues though, the backup stories have been pretty good. That old school animation homage sounds cool.

Just caught up on Dark Fang #3. It's a series about a vampire who spent a lot of time living at the bottom of the sea, just chilling with her sea animal friends, but then she returns to the world above due to facing the effects of mankind's rampant pollution. The art was kinda jarring at first because it seems like it was made for a digital flash cartoon or something so it may take some getting used to, but now I like it a lot because it lends itself well to visualizing the movement in each panel. Anyways, check it out, some of you might like it.
